An Accidental Double Date

Spike and High Winds took their seat near the back of the restaurant, the smell of Mexican food was in the air as the wait staff gave them both their menu's and a complimentary basket of chips, They both ordered Coffee, High Wind asked for some Queso and Spike asked for some Salsa, the two sat in silence as their waiter left and in the end, it was Spike who spoke up.

"So, what's it like being a Wonderbolt?" he asked in an attempt to start a conversation.

"Pretty good," High winds replied with a smile "got some good benefits, pays well, I might not be exactly famous, definitely not anyone favorite Wonderbolt, but I can live with that, means I can go around without worry or hassle, no paparazzi to worry about at the very least," She smiled "Alright now that the most obvious question has been asked let's get more personal shall we?" As the two began the journey of getting to know one another they were unaware of two sets of eyes looking at them from across the restaurant.

"'ah thought you said he was dating a Sphinx," Applejack said as Rainbow watched in silent awe as one of her colleagues chatted merrily with one of her friends.

"I did," Rainbow agreed "and you got the same invitation I got so we both know he still is," Rainbow scratched her chin in thought "Maybe their just friends, or maybe finding out he was actually somewhat attractive went straight to his head," Before Rainbow could pick one side or another she got up.

"Well 'ah know exactly how to solve this," Applejack made her way proudly over to Spike and High winds and picked up the tail end of their conversation as she got closer.

"-and then we flew face-first into the Watertown, and you just stuck us to the side of the mountain," High winds said with a laugh "It was both the coolest and most terrifying thing ever," Spike was about to reply when he saw Applejack.

"Oh my goodness, Applejack!" Spike said when he saw his friends "It feels like it's been forever since I last saw you, how are things?"

"Pretty good since you sent Rainbow my way," She said with a smile "Thank for that by the way,"

"No problem," He managed to say before Rainbow made her presence know.

"You aren't cheating on your soon to be wife are you?" Rainbow demanded "Cause if so I'd hate to be the one to knock some sense into you but I'll fucking do it," Spike looked at Rainbow for a moment, looking mildly amused.

"You might wanna sit down for this," He said simply.


the group was now sitting at a combined table for four, Spike and High Winds on one side with their coffee waiting for their combined orders of Nachos, one without Tomato's, one with Grilled onions added. The two sat patiently as Rainbow shook her head in amazement.

"Spike," She said grinning ear to ear "you're an even horny spaz than I thought,"

"You were there when Sphinx said she wanted to make our relationship a harem," he shot back, "You said almost that exact same line too!"

"Yeah but come on," Rainbow said with a laugh "3 is one thing, but now you're up to 4, with a 5th one on the way, maybe a 6th if Luna decides to stick around after your or-?"

"Alright," Applejack said as Rainbow started getting a little too loud "Let's try and not make our friend's sex life anymore public than you already have,"

"Oh come on," Rainbow said with a snicker "my Invitation literally says to cunt, let me make fun of them just a little,"

"I remember you liked that," Spike shot back as High winds almost choked on her coffee.

"I wanna meet this Sphinx on a more personal level" She decided "She sounds fun,"

"I guarantee the second you meet Sphinx she'll pull you into a three-way with me and her," Spike said casually.

"If that was your attempt as discouraging me you have failed miserably," High Winds replied with a grin.

"I was doing no such thing," Spike replied plainly before taking a sip and adding "I was just making sure you were ready for it, she'll probably give you little to no warning," Spike licked his lips and frowned at his coffee before taking a flash out of his pants pocket and pouring what looked to be milk into his cup.

"Care to explain why that's a thing?" Rainbow asked as Spike downed his cup in an instant. Spike looked at the Flash that was labeled simply as "Sphinx"

"I shall not," Spike decided as he put his Sphinx Milk back in his pocket "All I shall say is that the flask is enchanted so the milk is nice and cold," before more could be said the waitstaff brought them their food and Spike dug into his grilled onion nachos while High winds enjoyed her tomatoless one, Applejack was eating an enchilada plate, and Rainbow had a Burrito to big to bite into and was forced to use a fork and knife to eat it.

"Alright so you carry a milk flask," High winds said before eating a chip "You have any other weird things on you?"

"Well, thanks to Chrysalis I have a collar that changes my clothes at will," his friends looked at him for a moment before Applejack spoke up.

"Cowboy hat," She said, without any warning, Spike was suddenly wearing an exact copy of Applejack's hat.

"hu..." Applejack managed to say before High winds stood up straight and demanded.

"Do a Wonderbolts outfit," Without any hesitation, Spike's clothing shifted to that of a Wonderbolts, complete with wing holes and goggles over his eyes.

"Ok change back," She said with a gleam in her eye "I'd like you to save that for later," Spike changed back to his outfit, still sporting a Cowboy hat, and turned back to his food.

"Later?" Rainbow asked with a grin "High winds, are you a horny spaz to?" Applejack elbowed Rainbow in the side and she sat back down. "Fine I'll stop, so how exactly did you two meet," Spike and High winds both stopped in mid chewing and looked at each other trying not to laugh as they swallowed their food.

"Funny story," Spike chuckled.


Author's Note

A fair number of the main 6 have not made an appearance in this story and I plan to amend this. and yes I am bad at writing in a southern drawl (Kind of funny since I kind of have one) so I apologize about Applejack not sounding Southern enough.
